In another part of my kingdom I have a brand new install of Debian Etch. This evening when I attempted to configure sound ... it gave an error message to the effect that I could not access the output device ... because it was in use by something else (not specified). This set me thinking about my PuppyLinux 4 problem of no sound. What could have taken the output signal ... and locked the device so that sound configure no longer has access???

Is there another device on this all-in one motherboard ... that claims the sound card ... and must be turned off? What could it be?? Maybe its the analogue modem?? This is not in use at this location 9I have slow broadband).

On the rear surface of this board, there are 3 jacks. Two are for inputs ... mic and line input .. and the remaining one is for line output. I use a set of amplified speakers which I have had for several years and they do work. Does this help??

Much as I like Puppy (Dingo), it does give me hassle. My motherboard is ASUS M2N-E SLI, which has onboard sound. I've tried everything I can think of but I get no sound and I can't get my HP OfficeJet G55 to print (I've tried loads of drivers). On the same computer I have Mepis, which is fully featured and correspondingly a bit slow. BUT, the sound and the printer work perfectly. So I'm a bit going off Puppy !
